I think the "cast" makes the association with fly fishing obvious enough.
That is in no way obvious, lol.
I would say it's more obvious than confusing it with something erotic.

So then this is the same as Kodi, Plex, etc
No, it operates just like a Chromecast, but with a different protocol.
This is a joke, right? If it requires a Raspberry Pi then it is not different than Kodi or wherever else that supports the same functionality. I feel like the authors here reinvented fire and then are refusing to acknowledge or admit that it has already been done.
Re: NymphCast – Open-source Chromecast Alternative
#63I thought this might have been the thing I'm looking for; relatively painless screencasting or sharing from a local (Linux) PC to another device on the network (e.g. Raspberry Pi + Big Screen TV). The use case isn't necessarily full motion video + audio, but more for business/conference room type use, where response time isn't wildly important, since it's something like a whiteboard. Monitor-over-network would be gre…
I'm still looking for a VLC plugin that let's you stream to VLC via UPNP/DLNA. If that existed you could basically turn any raspberry pi into a Chromecast using your distro of choice and VLC.

How do you cast a movie from your laptop to Kodi?

First, that isn't how Chromecast works.. however, for me to cast a movie from my laptop to Kodi I just enable file sharing on the directory that I want to share and then I can access it in Kodi and play it using the remote. I can also serve it via HTTP or SFTP.

You can do it using your distro of choice and KODI.

Update: Saw that NewPipe even offers a stream to Kodi option. NewPipe is a popular open source YouTube interface.

Yeah and I used to use that, but it is a pain. If all you're doing is sending video from another device like you would with a Chromecast, all the features that come bundled in Kodi are bloat.

That is how Chromecast works. And it doesn't require you to setup a local file share, then browse to it via another interface.
For example you can open a video in a player (like VLC) and choose "Render -> to Chromecast".

That is because VLC would act as the streaming device and that functionality exist with Kodi as well.
